One lark, one horse : poems
(Book)

A new collection of poems by Michael Hofmann-his first in twenty years. In style, his voice is as unmistakable as ever-sometimes funny, sometimes caustic; world-facing and yet intimate-and this collection shows a bright mind burning fiercely over the European and American imaginations. The poet explores where he finds himself, geographically and in life, treating with wit and compassion such universal themes as aging and memory, place, and the difficult existence of the individual in an ever-bigger and more bestial world. One Lark, One Horse is a remarkable assemblage of work that will delight loyal readers and enchant new ones with Hofmann's approachable, companionable voice.--amazon.com
